Abstract
A cutting tool for undercutting a bore in a component includes a shaft portion and at least one tangentially and axially cutting portion. The shaft portion extends in an axial direction relative to the component and has a maximum shaft radius. The cutting portion projects radially with respect to the shaft portion further than the maximum shaft radius. Each cutting portion includes a tangentially arranged lateral cutting edge configured to form a tangentially extending groove in the component. At least one cutting portion has a front cutting edge arranged axially at a front end thereof and configured to form an axially extending groove in the component.
Claims19
A cutting tool for undercutting a bore in a component, the cutting tool comprising:
- a shaft portion extending in an axial direction relative to the component and having a maximum shaft radius;
- and
- at least one tangentially and axially primary cutting portion projecting radially with respect to the shaft portion further than the maximum shaft radius, each primary cutting portion comprising a tangentially arranged lateral cutting edge configured to form a tangentially extending groove in the component,
- wherein at least one primary cutting portion of the at least one tangentially and axially primary cutting portion has a front cutting edge arranged axially at a front end thereof and configured to form an axially extending groove in the component,
- wherein the shaft portion includes a front depression formed on a front end thereof and is arranged adjacent to the front cutting edge, the front depression configured to receive material removed from undercutting the bore.
